Ghost image
Appeasing my obsessive nature

I've noticed when placing items in the world they will drop in an unpredictable place. I was curious if it would be possible when moving something like a basket or pile of scrap that we could see a ghost image of where it will place in the world prior to us letting go of the mouse button.

I'll think about it, but I don't think I could do this, at least not easily.

Baskets, etc. should be placed in a quite predictable manner. They are placed in front of you unless there is an object in the way. In that case, the code looks around you in a circular pattern for the best available spot to place the object.

The placement happens immediately, having a 'ghost placement' would add an additional step that I think a lot of players accustomed to the game would find tedious.

Anyways, I'll think about it. This is the first time something like this has been mentioned.

Thanks!
